Jamesc Hypersonic December 15, 2019 Share December 15, 2019 I changed to silicon blades just once and it lasted 9 years with constant use. It cost $20 for each blade so that's $60 for 3 wipers but lasted 9 years so it was a good investment. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
